At our recent meeting on Saturday November 21, the following prayers were requested of all Serrans:
- Men entering the seminary and current seminarians always require prayer. Fr. Dan Hennessey (Director of Vocations for the Archdiocese of Boston) said that men entering the seminary are extremely serious and knowledgeable about their vocation, and are the “cream of the crop” from MIT, Harvard, and Ivy League and state schools. Prayers are requested for these men, who seem to be able to see beyond the current issues facing the church to a revitalized church in the future.
- Please pray for Marie Lucci, a young woman who entered the Fraternidad of Reparation to the Heart of Jesus the Priest. We pray for Marie as she continues to discern her vocation to religious life.
- Please pray for the purchase a statue of St. John Vianney for the St. Leonard of Port Maurice in the North End. While scouting locations for the upcoming Eucharistic Congress 2010, Fr. Dan Hennessey noted that the current statue garden does not have a statue of this priest who was so devoted to vocations.
As always, please pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. May God grant peace and wisdom to all those who are currently discerning their vocations!
